<p>^I know that. I just did not mention that the stats for OOS (US) and in-state at Cal are also very much identical. Stats for international are higher due to its greater prestige (relative to others). The general rule of thumb is the admission difficulty should mirror its perceived prestige among the high school seniors. That’s why the myth that Cal’s OOS admission difficulty is somehow close to, say, Stanford’s is easy to spot. The same goes for UNC. There’s this idea that its OOS admission is just as difficult as, say, Duke. While the admit rate for OOS is a lot lower than in-state (15% or so vs 50%), the test scores are not very different.</p>
